Encoded Cloth Part 3 – Lea, Carol, Rose

We will create a world passport. This is to symbolize open borders. It is a symbolic piece of work to represent how people no longer need to use identifications to travel and everyone is a citizen of the Earth. Potentially, we might need passports to travel through space to other planets, but at least on Earth, we would have open borders.

Cover – Passport cover with 3D felted globe. Under the globe, there will be text “Global Citizen”

Page 1 – Photo identification page. For the photo, we will use a mirror/reflective fabric. This symbolizes that you are a global citizen, no matter who looks into the mirror.

Page 2 – Quote from a leader. Potentially Obama – “We are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds.” (This will be screen printed)

Page 3 – Collage of different languages saying, “Unite”

Page 4 – 10 Passport stamps. Each page will use a different technique. (Felting, screen printing, embroidery, and patchwork)

Materials needed:

  1. Wool for felting
  2. Canvas cloth for main body of passport
  3. Mirror/really reflective cloth
  4. Threads/needles/sewing machine/iron for patchwork and putting together the passport
  5. Screen printing materials (contact paper, cricut etc.)
  6. Yarn
  7. Scrap fabric for decoration
